Restoring 1974 Blazer and need to know if instrument bezel from 1975-77 will work? I know there are some cosmetic differences but will they work with 1974 instruments?

Welcome to the forum. Yes it will work. May need to repin a couple wires. Follow the printed circuit. If anything is different, move the wires in the connector plug. Take pictures and write notes, will help you.

I believe the difference with the newer ones is the wiper switch location. It's either slightly off or slightly different size, I don't recall which at the moment.

We don't see many 74 Blazers so make sure you post some pictures somewhere.

The '73-'74 have a smaller opening for the wiper switch. The '75-'77 bezel should work fine otherwise, as I'm pretty sure that the wiper switch location is in the exact same spot.

'78-'83 got a wiper switch opening that was a little bigger yet, but the location also changed slightly as well.
